Larry Ellison
Former Employee – worked at Oracle full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Access to Oracle technology stack, good software development methodologies. Good career progression for software engineers going down the project management path.
Cons – Large organization. Very large. Talented technical contributors will find it easy to differentiate themselves from the rest, but hard to make a difference to the overall product quality.
Advice to Senior Management – Without your developers, you have no product. Compensate your IT staff better compared with the incentives provided to sales/marketing staff.
